Dining room mirrors and Main Doors

[myfs_80492]

Dear Sir:
I have 2 questions:
1. The main door to my house is a heavy wooden
door that has stained glass on the top half of the
door. The door is facing the West. I have heard
that a main door with glass is not good Feng Shui.
Can you suggest a cure other than replacing the
door which would be expensive.
2. I want to put a mirror in my dining room to reflect
the dining room table because it is supposed to
be auspicious. The problem is that if I put a mirror
in the dining room that will reflect the table it will
also reflect the kitchen door which I heard is bad.
Can you suggest a cure?

In my opinion, this has to do more with `commonsense' approach than Feng Shui: Generally, a `solid' door is preferred as it is considered `theft' protection.
A door with glass was considered good because it was felt that it could be broken in. Alternatively, especially in high-rise buildings, building code require e.g. escape doors to have minimum fire retardation of 1/2 an hour or more (depending on the door).
Therefore, in my opinion, overall, it does not really mean that a door with glass panels is totally inauspicious. And in my opinion, can still be used without changing it.

Many interior decorators recommend mirrors to reflect the dining room. But the caution here is that if that sector is considered inauspicious e.g. in Feng Shui, then it could mean twice the bad luck is bounced back.
Reflecting the kitchen door, is not that bad unless, the door is opened and items like fork and knifes are seen. This is not too good.
There is not much cure here unless, one keeps these crockery items away.
Please also note to avoid using two-piece mirror(s). As it is symbolic of a split.
Warmest Regards,
